Burnouts

Burnouts use the power of the engine and braking force to cause the rear wheel to spin, heating the rear tire and producing smoke.

There are different types of burnouts, like the "suicide burnout" with the rider dismounted and standing in front of the motorcycle.

The "chainsaw" is a form of burnout performed by the stunter standing beside a motorcycle lying on its side holding the motorcycle exclusively by the right handle bar then causing the bike to "orbit" around the rider while maintaining control during the burnout.

In a "merry-go-round", the rider lays the bike on its side and climbs onto it, then leans back on the bike while holding the throttle, causing the bike to spin round while doing a burnout.
